Gareth to join Forever R's Club

Gareth Ainsworth will be inducted into QPR's newly-formed ex-players association at their Sky Bet Championship fixture with Wolves on Thursday night.

The Chairboys boss made 152 appearances for the West London club, scoring 21 times in total during a seven-year spell from 2003 to 2010.

He will be joined by fellow former QPR heroes Simon Barker and Bob Hazell at Loftus Road on Thursday evening, with the trio set to be presented to the crowd at half-time as part of their induction into the Forever R's Club.
